Family & Inheritance

What did your family give you that you are still carrying?

Jones Innovative Publishing explores the intergenerational transmission of survival adaptations and behaviors. Research continues to examine biological and epigenetic pathways that may contribute to effects observed across generations, but human intergenerational transmission cannot currently be reduced to genetics or epigenetics alone. Family environment, parenting, modeling, development, culture, stress exposure, learning, and other factors may contribute. Inheritance is not destiny.
